Quality Standards Programs : NATIONAL METRICS COMPARISON
Renown Institute for Cancer is excited to participate in the Commission on Cancer ’ s ( CoC ) program to evaluate key outcomes measures in cancer care . As we move towards quality measures as a technique to promote cancer care , participation in a national program allows us to compare ourselves to national benchmarks and compare ourselves to other similar accredited CoC programs .
The CoC ’ s Cancer Program Practice Profile Reports ( CP3R ) evaluates 23 quality measures covering 10 primary cancer sites . The following table demonstrates Renown ’ s performance on breast and colon measures for the years 2011 to 2014 . The 2016 Cancer Committee evaluated these measures which demonstrated excellent compliance with the quality standards set by the commission .
CP3R REPORT
Over the past several years , the CoC received many requests for “ real time ” data that the CP3R could provide in order to closely monitor each measure . In order to satisfy these requests , the CoC developed the Rapid Quality Reporting System ( RQRS ). By evaluating and assessing current data , Renown Cancer Committee and institute leadership have developed more realistic goals and objectives to make a greater impact on cancer care in northern Nevada . This is one of the ways that Renown Institute for Cancer remains committed to providing outstanding , state-of-the-art cancer care .
